UCI sold out something like 2000 bottles in 5 minutes in the last week or two. Treatment takes times, so I suspect we will begin hearing from those who bought it if they have success or not in the next month or so.

DID NOT WORK for me
I followed the directions to a t. I am also a biologist and analyzed its effectiveness at each stage of the treatment. I want to say it may have slowed them down, but I think that is even a stretch. From my observations it is an ineffective treatment as I found all stages of the lifecycle at end of treatment.

Ugh, thats disappointing. I still am guessing its a similar product as flatworm stop. Flatworm stop at a double dose and basting the corals daily will rid the tank of them after a few months, as long as you can reach all colonies well to baste them well. Keeping the flatworms off the corals and using the flatworm stop to slow down their process really works wonders and I know a few people who also had this treatment work ridding the tank of them.

I have talked to a few people who have said it worked. But it takes a few months after you think it worked to really find out if they are gone. They are sneaky evasive little buggers!
UWC said its nothing like FWS but everyone says it does the same thing and makes the corals more resistant to the worms. I haven't heard of anything else it does that would kill them. Anyone else?
